The act which contains Canada’s much anticipated Grocery Rebate has received Royal Assent, which means it has become law.
The feds say the new one-time Grocery Rebate delivers targeted inflation relief to 11 million low and modest income Canadians and families with up to an extra $467.
The rebate will be delivered to eligible Canadians on July 5, 2023, by direct deposit or cheque through the Canada Revenue Agency. Recipients will not need to apply for the Grocery Rebate, . It will be delivered along with their July GST Credit payment. However, to be eligible, you will need to have filed your 2021 tax return.
